I was just driving my car when all of a sudden my service engine light came on and it started to idle poorly it droped rpm i cant go faster than 20 miles an hour when ever i step on the gas theres a light gray smoke coming out when im going about 20 i could here the turbo start to spool up i changed the Mas Air Flow sensor thinking that was it but it wasnt when i turned the ignition on service engine light blinked 4 one time it blinked 14 times if you could help me with some info i dont have the code book for it. thanks in advanced
A long blink = 10
A short blink = 1
When you first enter diag mode long blink 1 time
than 2 short. This happens 3 times. This also =
12. After this the code will show look carefully
sometime more than 1 code is stored. Don't
understand how many blinks you are descibing.
Did you see 12 flash 3 times ?
Mine did that w/o the service engine light coming on. It may be your ignition coils or wires.
Disconnect the MAF sensor cable and see if the car drives better. Your service engine light will be on but don't let that bother you.
There is no guarantee that the replacement MAF you put on there was good.
I tried hooking up the Snap On scanner but it would not communicate it does seem as if its not runnig on all cylinders thanks for help
I have seen trouble with Snap-On scanners on some cars. Either on reading or giving false codes and info. Try coding it the old fashion way with a paper clip.
how do i do that
